Try it, your gonna kill it anyways right? Or, when you harvest, immediately put a bud in the fridge for a day or two and see what happens.
Yes you can. If you can, give it the 12/12 light cycle. It will not grow that cold but it will speed up the curing time if you have it properly flushed before harvest.
wow that was a long shot and i got positive feedback! lol
So basically i would flush and then place the pot in the fridge like overnight or maybe well into the next afternoon and then harvest it?
Do you really think it will turn purple?
is there a risk of ruining the buds?
thanks for the comments
peace
make your last watering (or few)the flush, wait till its dry (quicker drying IMO), then put it in!
so they soil should be completely dry before i put the plant in the fridge?
Any ideas as to how long i should keep it in there?
Once it goes in there, i dont plan on doing anymore watering or lighting. I'm just gonna stick it in the dark fridge over night before i harvest that morning.
Does any1 think this is a bad idea?
if it works out alright i might try it
letting it dry out before harvest makes the drying/curing easier/faster.
It takes day's for any cycle change to take place. If you want purple then it may take up to a week. If you flush proper then after your last water while it's still moist put it in. You don't want it in the 40's you want more like mid 50's so the plant will survive the week.
You do know it will not change the taste or potency right?
that is good to know i think ill try that ,how long would you say to keep it in the fridge zandor for curing !!!!Quote:

The cold and lack of food even thought you give it the proper light cycle will force the plant to use up stored energy. Just like the outdoors when you harvest in mid to late October.
my mom's ex bf used to take his plants and put them out in the cold weather on the porch for 10 minutes at a time. It was like 30 degrees outside. It used to make the plants create more trichomes to keep the plant alive. Techinically pot is one of the last green plants around when it gets cold outside and thats how hunters find it growing sometimes. If the plant has no bud then it would die but if they have buds then the buds will keep the plant alive.
try putting it in the fridge for 15 minutes at a time for a few times a day.
wow harmoni, that makes sense to me i think. that explains why bud grown in CO has so many crystals on it.
Zandor i do realise that it wont increae potency but i just want um purple... cuz i am a stoner and want to turn my buds purple...:D
I dunno just thought it might be a decent thing to try. You think its worth a shot?
LOL at least you are honest in your effort....lol :dance: :thumbsup:Quote:

If you want some real color try to find some Black Russian seeds (if you can) that is color with attitude. :smokin:
WOW... i was looking around and i seen this pic of a black russian.. dude this plant is amazing.. apparently this strain only exists in clone form.... does anybody know how to get one of these.....
Why is it that the picture is labeled blackberry?
You can get them in seed..they are hard to find and expensive but they are still out there. I got mine a few years ago from a company in Jamica. They cost me 200 bucks for 10.
is it possible to ruin my buds if i put my entire plant in the fridge like stated above? (for the last night before harvest)
Like, it is possible for the plant (and buds) to die over night?
I'd be worried only about mold, just don't leave them in there too long.
Hopefully no law enforcement idiot destroys the black russian clones if it's only avaliable in clones cuz that looks nice.Quote:
